2017’s “Friday the 13th” Will Be a Voorhees Family Affair + Origin Story

On Friday, we brought you the news that the 13th Installment of the Friday the 13th Franchise was to being filming in March, targeting an October 13th release date. To recap:

Bloody Disgusting… exclusively confirm[ed] that casting is and has been underway on the next Friday the 13th, which is being produced by Platinum Dunes for Paramount Pictures with a target to release on Friday the 13th, October 2017. In addition, our friends at F13Franchise are reporting that pre-production is currently underway in hot spot Conyers, Georgia, which is 24 miles East of Atlanta.

Yesterday, BD dropped a bunch of new info (based on casting announcements) that makes one thing certain: The next Friday the 13th movie will definitely be a Voorhees family affair. If true, there can no longer be any doubt that we’ll be getting some sort of origin story for Jason.

NO,NO, NO!!!🤦🏻‍♀️Leave Jason alone! No one cares about the rest of the Vorhees family! He’s a mama’s boy and he kills anyone who invades his territory. That’s all the background we need! Jason was not made to be a complex character! Simple and brutal is all he needs to be. The beauty of Jason is his tenacity and,dare I say, never-give-up attitude. Lol! He doesn’t give a fuck who you are. He’s going to kill you and whoever gets in his way, and he’s not going to stop until he does. He doesn’t negotiate. There’s no reasoning with him. You’re getting a machete in your head so you better run. It’s just that simple. Haha The minute you give him feelings, any type of emotion or give him a sad abused background, he’ll lose all credibility as a serial killer because “Jason was an abused kid, shunned by society, so that’s the reason he kills. He’s a product of environment and society”. 🤢😖👎🏻 UGH!! It’s going to RUIN him!! Might as well call him Michael Myers! This fan says LEAVE JASON ALONE!! ✋🏻🙄
